I have had two Deskjets get clogged in the same week recently.  I have
concluded that the problem might lie in the type of ink used.  The ink used in
the two printers that were clogged was of the refill type. I don't know the
brand name of the refill company but I do know the price was about $8.  We now
use authentic HP cartridges and have not had a problem since.
